From mercury in seafood to lead in old pipes, heavy metals are everywhere—and they’re silently affecting your brain, metabolism, hormones, and immunity. At Patients Medical in New York City, we go beyond basic blood work. Our integrative heavy metal testing and detox programs uncover hidden toxic burdens and support your body’s natural ability to cleanse and heal.
We don’t just treat symptoms—we treat the source of toxicity.
Heavy metal toxicity occurs when metals such as mercury, lead, arsenic, cadmium, or aluminum accumulate in your tissues over time. Even low-level chronic exposure can disrupt your brain, immune system, hormones, and mitochondria—leading to chronic illness that conventional doctors often miss.
Heavy metal symptoms are often vague and mimic other conditions. If you’ve been told “your labs are normal,” but still feel unwell, toxicity could be the hidden cause:
Functional medicine looks at why toxicity happens in the first place. At Patients Medical, we assess:
We use the most accurate and comprehensive tools available, including:
All labs are interpreted through an integrative lens—not just to diagnose, but to personalize detox.
We build your detox from the ground up with whole-food, anti-inflammatory protocols rich in fiber, cruciferous vegetables, sulfur compounds, and antioxidants to support your liver and GI tract.
We offer physician-monitored IV chelation therapies using agents like EDTA or DMPS to safely bind and remove metals, along with nutrient IVs (glutathione, B-complex, magnesium) to support cellular recovery.
Stress slows detox. We incorporate acupuncture, meditation, and adaptogens to regulate cortisol and support your adrenal reserves.
We optimize thyroid, adrenal, and sex hormones and repair leaky gut to improve your body’s resilience to toxins.
We create tailored supplement protocols using:
All dosages are monitored and adjusted by our integrative team.
David, a 40-year-old architect, came to us with severe fatigue, mood swings, and memory issues. His primary care doctor ruled out all common conditions. At Patients Medical, we found high levels of mercury and lead using a provoked urine test. After 4 months of guided chelation, mitochondrial support, and a gut-healing protocol, David’s brain fog cleared, his mood stabilized, and his energy returned.
Yes. Metals can accumulate silently for years before causing damage. Testing is essential.
When monitored by experienced physicians like ours, chelation is very safe and effective. We always test first and replenish key minerals during detox.
It varies. Some complete a protocol in 2–4 months; others may need 6+ months depending on burden and symptoms.
Some people experience mild “detox symptoms” like headaches or fatigue, which we manage with nutrient support and pacing.
Blood reflects recent exposure. Urine (especially after provocation) shows deeper tissue burden—what’s stored in bones, brain, and organs.
We are out-of-network, but provide superbills. Many lab tests are reimbursable under HSAs or insurance with proper coding.
Yes. We test and treat children with behavioral, immune, or developmental challenges with pediatric-appropriate protocols.
Metals persist in air, buildings, dental work, and your body for decades—even with a clean lifestyle.
Possibly. We assess their impact and work with biological dentists if removal is appropriate.
Yes. Mercury and others can disrupt immune regulation, contributing to autoimmunity.
